After half an hour, I notice that Poppy, the girl who rubbed the dick off my forehead, hasn’t come outside. Maybe she went back to sleep. I don’t have time to ask questions; Natasha is on a rampage. She’s definitely annoyed with Lance, who’s the least motivated of the three of us.
He keeps getting distracted by Flash Beaver, the chick he boned last night. He must have had a few bikinis lying around his house, because she’s dressed in a tiny white one that barely covers anything. Dick Yeller is wearing a pink bra and yellow panties. I try not to look at either of them and stay focused on the exercises.
Plyometric workouts are intense on dry land, in water and hungover, they’re pretty much torture. We’re on round three of cardio break when the doorbell rings.
I look to Lance, who’s sitting on the edge of the pool, not doing what he’s supposed to. “Who’s that?”
“I invited a few people over.” He nudges Flash Beaver and asks her to let whoever it is in.
Lance doesn’t invite “a few” people over. It’s not how he works unless it’s to get his fuck on with some bunny, like last night. That these girls are even still here is surprising. Usually he calls them a cab first thing in the morning and ships them off. Flash Beaver must’ve been a lot of fun.
“Where’s your friend?” I ask Dick Yeller.
She looks up from her phone and gives me a funny look. “She went to answer the door.”
“No. The other one.” I motion to my forehead. “The dick remover.”
“Oh! Poppy? She wasn’t feeling well. She took a cab home.” She goes back to staring at her phone.
This chick seems like a seriously shitty friend.
Natasha’s already out of the pool, packing up her stuff. I’m sure we weren’t finished, but it’s clear she’s given up. Flash Beaver comes back with a couple of guys from my team and some girls I’ve never seen before, which is a good thing. I lift a hand in greeting, then grab the weights and bands we didn’t get to use. Lance gets off his ass, not to help, but to greet his company.
“Sorry about today.” I fold everything up the way Natasha likes it and pass it over so she can pack it in her duffle bag.
“You were fine; the other two were the problem. I don’t think these home sessions work very well.”
“It woulda been fine if Lance had gotten rid of the bunnies.”
Lance lives outside of the city on a massive piece of property in a gigantic house. He has a complete weight room and a track in his backyard. His pool kicks ass. And the hot tub is great after a serious workout. I won’t be using it today, since I don’t know what happened in it last night. We started scheduling training sessions here when the weather got warm. That way I wouldn’t have to deal with all the bunnies at the gym. Unfortunately, Lance started bringing them here instead.
“Yeah, well, he didn’t, so I’m done.” Natasha grabs her bag.
“Sorry about him. You know how he gets.”
She shakes her head. For some odd reason, I get the feeling there’s more going on between her and Lance than I realized. She’s been his trainer for two years, so she knows what a dick he can be. Hitting on girls is a compulsion for him, and I know Natasha isn’t exempt. It’s understandable. She’s super fit—even I can admit it’s hot that she could kick my ass. There’s gotta be a line of guys wanting to tap that, Lance included. I don’t think she’s the kind of chick who would fall for his crap. You never know, though. People do a lot of stupid things when sex is involved.
“You’re gone for a couple of weeks after this, right?” she asks me.
“Yeah. I fly to Toronto tonight. I think my flight’s at nine or something.” I should check that when my phone works again.
Her eyes light up. “You excited to see Sunny?”
“Why are you so interested in my sex life?”
